2. Description functionalities of the Wireless components

2.1 FL WLAN 24 AP 802-11 XDB transceiver
There are two antenna connectors on the transceiver. This is for the purpose of antenna
diversity. The transceiver may be operated using a single antenna; however, in some
environments you may experience multi-path problems (null spots). If using a single
antenna, it must be connected to the ANT 1 port.
The transceiver can use either the 2.4 or 5 GHz ISM band. However, the antenna must be
specific to the frequency. There are dual band antennas available, if using both frequency
ranges. 802.11a uses the 5 GHz band, whereas 802.11b and 802.11g use the 2.4 GHz
band.

Static WEP is an older method of encryption that can be easily broken by determined
individuals. WPA and 802.11i (WPA2) are more advanced encryption methods and are
recommended over WEP; however, all transceivers in the network must have this
capability.
Most devices available today support WPA.

The buttons and fields in the WEP window are:

– The “Authentication Type” drop-down menu allows selection of “open”, “shared” or
“open/shared” (clients may employ either). “Shared” provides slightly higher security;
however, all clients must also have “Shared” selected as well.
– WEP Encryption Method selects one of three sizes of keys that can be used by WEP.
Larger keys provide a higher level of security. Select the size of key and enter a key using
only hexadecimal characters and no spaces (0-9 and A-F). Make a note of this key as it
must be entered in all client radios. Click the “Key Generator” button to have the program
automatically generate a key. Copy the key into other radios this unit must communicate
with.
– WEP Keys 1-4 (64-bit encryption) selects one of four possible keys that can be used with
64-bit encryption. This serves the purpose of allowing periodic rotation of the WEP key by
the operator. Simply select which key is desired. The same key must be selected in the
access point and all client radios for successful operation. Only one key will be used at a
time. Copy the key into other radios this unit must communicate with.

Security Mechanism
Wi-Fi Protected Access, or WPA, was designed to enable use of wireless legacy
systems employing WEP while improving security.
WPA uses improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol
(TKIP) which mixes keys using a hashing algorithm, and adds an integrity-checking
feature to ensure that the keys aren’t tampered with.
TKIP also incorporates re-keying, so the key is periodically changed to prevent old
keys from being captured and used for unauthorized network access.
In addition, user authentication is enabled using the extensible authentication
protocol (EAP).
Finally, a message integrity check (MIC) is used to prevent an attacker from
capturing and altering or forging data packets. It can also employ a form of AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) called AES-CCMP.
TKIP: temporal key integrity protocol

Protocol which mixes keys using a hashing algorithm, and adds an integrity-checking
feature to ensure that the keys aren’t tampered with. TKIP also incorporates re-keying, so
the key is periodically changed to prevent old keys from being captured and used for
unauthorized network access.
AES: Advanced Encryption Standard
AES is currently approved for military use, and utilizes a 128-bit block cipher algorithm and
encryption technique for protecting computerized information.
AES-CCMP: AES-Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol
AES-Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) is an encryption algorithm used in
the 802.11i security protocol. It uses the AES block cipher, but restricts the key length to
128 bits. AES-CCMP incorporates two sophisticated cryptographic techniques (counter
mode and CBC-MAC) and adapts them to Ethernet frames to provide a robust security
protocol between the mobile client and the access point. AES itself is a very strong cipher,
but counter mode makes it difficult for an eavesdropper to spot patterns, and the CBC-MAC
message integrity method ensures that messages have not been tampered with. 16

The Ethernet port adapter (FL WLAN EPA) is a high-performance, industrial WLAN
interface for Ethernet or Profinet-compatible automation equipment. A WLAN access point
or another FL WLAN EPA can be used as the access point to the Ethernet control network.
A transparent protocol is used for data transmission on Layer 2 level, which ensures easy
integration in Industrial Ethernet networks such as Profinet, Modbus/TCP or Ethernet/IP.
The FL WLAN EPA meets the Profinet requirements of conformance class A and the
Profisafe profile for failsafe communication.
The FL WLAN EPA has certified compatibility with WLAN standard IEEE 802.11 b/g. This
means it can connect any WLAN module to the Ethernet network, provided the module also
supports standard IEEE 802.11 b/g.
Industrial devices with WLAN interface include, for example, (industrial) PCs or notebooks,
PDAs (personal digital assistants), industrial
barcode scanners, RFID readers, and weighing systems.

2.3.3 WLAN and WLAN EPA operating modes
1 WLAN Operating modes

• Infrastructure mode: Communication between all devices is via a shared access
© CoNeT – Co-operative Network Training point
• Ad hoc mode: is used to connect two WLAN devices together without an access
point
2 WLAN EPA operating modes

• Ethernet bridge mode:
• This mode is only supported between two WLAN EPAs.
• Ethernet data packets are encapsulated in UDP packets and transmitted transparently
between the EPAs.
• Due to UDP encapsulation and the additional overhead, the data throughput is
considerably lower than in external wireless mode
• External wireless mode:
• the EPA acts as a wireless extension of the wired Ethernet device. The WLAN EPA
uses the MAC address of the connected termination device, which means that only one
Ethernet device can be connected to the WLAN EPA.
• The connection of several devices via a hub or switch is not possible.
22
Slide 1-01/29
Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode is the simplest form of a wireless network. Communication between all
devices is via a shared access point. In this mode, all available transmission bandwidths up
to 54 Mbps can be used. The user can set the authentication and encryption methods.
Ad hoc mode
This mode is used to connect two WLAN devices together without an access point. Ad hoc
mode only offers the transmission bandwidth according to 802.11 b (11 Mbps) and
encryption according to the WEP standard.
Ethernet bridge mode

This mode is only supported between two WLAN EPAs. In this mode, Ethernet data
packets are encapsulated in UDP packets and transmitted transparently between the
EPAs. For the termination devices at both ends of the WLAN connection, the wireless
transmission is "invisible". Due to UDP encapsulation and the additional overhead, the data
throughput is considerably lower in this operating mode than in external wireless mode.
External wireless mode
In this mode, the EPA acts as a wireless extension of the wired Ethernet device. The WLAN
EPA uses the MAC address of the connected termination device, which means that only
one Ethernet device can be connected to the WLAN EPA. The connection of several
devices via a hub or switch is not possible.
22
2.3. 4 Examples of FL WLAN EPA Configurations
Example 1: Two WLAN EPAs form an Ethernet bridge (option 1)

• several devices are connected to both EPAs
• The data from the connected devices is transmitted via the UDP tunnel.
• This mode can be used both in ad hoc mode and in infrastructure mode.
